Autumn Reflections

I meander through the park

On a cold autumn day

The multi-hued leaves crunch satisfyingly underfoot

Reflecting on God’s providence and grace

My mood is slightly morose, yet hopeful

Squirrels open chestnuts for the long winter ahead

Over head a Peregrine falcon soars majestically

Eyeing its prey

A mouse darts across the open field

The leaves swirl around in the wind

Similar to Brownian motion

My breath hangs suspended briefly in the frosty afternoon air

The panoply of life play out in front of me

It invigorates my soul

Connected to God and at peace

Knowing I’m secure in Christ

Makes this a very good day indeed
